What is Psychometric Testing?

Standardized assessments that measure cognitive abilities, personality traits, and behavioral tendencies to predict job performance and fit.

Why it matters in hiring

Psychometric Testing comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
